'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5 Expert 1''''' is a video game for the Game Boy Advance, and the first game to follow the real ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' rules. The game is very similar to its English version, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul]]'', in story, but different in graphics and the Booster Packs (''The Eternal Duelist Soul'' uses the same graphic as ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel]]''). Gameplay is similar to standard dueling rules, except that the Side Deck can have less than 15 cards, and is more for convenience of getting to cards for your Deck than switching between duels, as CPU duels are single duels rather than matches (though you will have a match duel against a character every two weeks on a Saturday).

'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1''''' is a video game for the Game Boy Advance, and the first game to follow the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'' (''OCG'') rules. It and its successor, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2]]'', are the only numbered games in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (video game series)|Duel Monsters]]'' series to use ''OCG'' rules.

Campaign[edit]

Stages[edit]

Opponents are arranged in "tiers", with higher tiers unlocked by beating already open tiers. A tier may consist of 4 or 5 duelists. In order to advance, all duelists on a tier must be beaten a certain amount of times before the next level can be unlocked. Beating a tier also unlocks certain in-game events, such as special cards that can only be received by beating that tier.

Trade[edit]

Trade

Players can connect two copies of the game, using the Game Link Cable to transfer cards between copies. The game is not compatible with the Wireless Link accessory for the Game Boy Advance.

After connecting two copies of the game and entering the trade menu, each player selects a card from their bag and confirms that they wish to trade it. Each card is then sent to the opposite player's game.

It is also possible to trade with the sequel, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2.

Calendar

The game progresses by one day, each time the player faces an opponent in Campaign. The calendar menu can be used to view the current date and check what dates events fall on. The directional buttons are used to move the cursor between days, while the L and R buttons are used to move between months.

  • Japanese days off, including Sundays and public holidays are marked in red on the calendar.
  • Weekly Jump distribution dates are marked with a "WJ" icon. These occur every Tuesday, unless the Tuesday is a day off, in which case it occurs on the last working day beforehand. The player receives five cards, from either gift pack A or gift pack B on this day.
  • V Jump distribution dates are marked with a "VJ" icon. These occur on the 21st of every month, unless the 21st is a day off, in which case it occurs on the last working day beforehand. The player receives five cards from the V Jump gift pack on this day.
  • Tournaments are marked with a card icon.
    • Weekend Duel takes place on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.

Option[edit]

Options

The option screen gives the player the following

  • Change name: Allows players to change their name
  • Record: Displays the number of wins, losses and draws against each character
  • Sound: Toggle sound settings between "on", "special effects only" and "off"
  • Duelist Point

Deck & Bag[edit]

Deck edit

The player can view their cards and edit their Deck from the Deck & Bag menu. The menu has three different screens, which can be toggled between using the L and R keys.

  • Bag: All cards in the player's possession, not currently in the Deck or Side Deck.
  • Deck: 40 to 60 cards used in Duels.
  • Side Deck: 0 to 15 cards, which can be used to modify the Deck between Duels, during Matches.

Each screen shows a list of cards with four visible at a time. The up and down arrows can be used to move through the cards one at a time or the left and right arrows to move four a time. When highlighted, a card's illustration, stats and the number of copies of it in the Bag, Deck and Side Deck are displayed. When selected, the player can view its details or move a copy to the Bag, Deck or Side Deck.

The order of the cards can be changed in each screen. The options to sort by are name (which is also numeric order), ATK, DEF, Level and Type. In the event of a tie, e.g. two cards having the same Level, when order by Level, they are ordered per the previously applied filter.

Duel[edit]

Players can connect two copies of the game, using the Game Link Cable, to Duel against each other.

Obtaining cards[edit]

Initial Deck[edit]

When starting a new game, the player is presented with a choice of three Decks, Black, Green, and Red, to use as their Initial Deck. Each Deck is generated by selecting a certain number of cards at random from a group of card pools.

In the below table, each card pool is represented in a column. The "Size" row is the total number of cards in the pool; the "Red", "Green", and "Black" rows show the number of cards the respective Deck selects from that pool.

Pool 1 Pool 2 Pool 3 Pool 4 Pool 5 Pool 6 Pool 7 Pool 8 Pool 9 Pool 10 Pool 11
Size 6 2 7 6 7 2 13 13 13 57 12
Black 6 1 2 2 5 2 3 3 6 10 3
Red 6 3 3
Green 3 6 3

Packs[edit]

Players open packs throughout the game. Each pack contains five cards; four Common cards and one, which can be of any other rarity.

Rarities[edit]

The probabilities for the possible rarities of the fifth card are listed below.

Rarity Normal Rare Secret Rare Ultra Rare Super Rare Rare Common
Probability 6/180 4/180 6/180 12/180 36/180 116/180

The rarity names are not used in-game. However they correspond to the rarities the cards have in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game. e.g. all cards in DM5's Vol.1 with 6/180 probability are Ultra Rare in the OCG's Vol.1. There is no visual indicator in the game to say exactly what rarity a card is. All Secret, Ultra, Super and Rare cards have their name displayed in a foil pattern when viewing the contents of a pack.

List[edit]

Packs

When the player wins a Duel, they are usually presented with a choice of Booster Packs, many of which are based on real-world OCG sets. Three packs are available at the beginning of the game. More are unlocked as the player meets certain conditions.

  • The "unlocked by" column explains how to make the packs available at the Booster Pack-selection screen.
  • The "event" column lists other situations where the player is awarded the pack. When the player is awarded a Booster Pack, they are not directly told which one they receive, instead only see which five cards it contained. The player must win a Match (best out of three Duels) for each of these events, except the Ghoul encounter, which is a single Duel and the Weekly Jump and V Jump prizes, which do not involve any Dueling.
  • Certain events only occur if the player faces particular opponents. The "opponent" column lists the opponent for the event, mentioned in the "event" column, if applicable.

Tournament prize cards[edit]

Normally a pack is awarded to the player for winning a Match in a tournament. The National Championship also awards Ticket Cards; The player can win "Set Sail for the Kingdom", "The Monarchy" and "Glory of the King's Hand" in the first, second and third rounds respectively.

Passwords[edit]

Password Machine

Passwords can be found on the lower left hand corner of actual physical Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. In this and many other games, a password screen allows these codes to be entered to unlock new cards. However, there are two conditions to this:

  • Certain rare cards will not allow their passwords to be entered, unless the condition to unlock them has been met but the game has not awarded it yet.
  • The player must not already have the card in his/her Trunk, Deck, Side Deck (or if the card is a newer card), it will not go through and it will display an "ERROR" message.

Trading[edit]

Players may exchange cards using the Trade menu.

It is possible to exploit this option to duplicate cards. When trading, after one player has pushed the trade button, if the second player waits until the card appears back on the first player's screen before pushing the trade button, both players will have both cards being traded.

Simon[edit]

By Dueling Simon once, the player gets a copy of every card not already in their possession.

Rules[edit]

The game almost directly follows the rules of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG), as they were at the time of the game's development. Differences include:

  • There is an upper limit of 60 cards on the Main Deck. (At the time, there was no upper limit in the OCG.)
  • The Side Deck can have between 0 and 15 cards. (At the time, the OCG only allowed for an exactly 15-card Side Deck or no Side Deck.)

Limited cards[edit]

D-Tactics[edit]

D-Tactics

D-Tactics is a feature that helps players learn the basics of the game and test them with puzzles.

Rules[edit]

There are some rules in D-Tactics.

  • The level will pick the Deck the player uses. They will use the same Deck each time they play that level.
  • The starting hand in each puzzle will be roughly the same, regardless of the player's Deck. Some unimportant cards will be different.
  • The player must win in a single turn.
  • A hint is given at the start of each level.

Progressing[edit]

Initially, only six levels are available. Each time the player completes six, the next six will become available, until all have been unlocked.

Glitches[edit]

  • If the Magic Card taken by "Graverobber" is set before activation the player will not lose the 2000 Life Points.

Demo[edit]

A demo "Taikenban" version of Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1 is known to exist.[1][2]

Notes[edit]

  1. At the time of this game's release in 2001, May 4 was an unnamed holiday that was created due to a rule that any day which falls between two holidays automatically also becomes a holiday, with these days being referred to as a "citizens' holiday". In 2006, Greenery Day was moved to May 4, and Greenery Day's original April 29 date was changed to the new Shōwa Day holiday.
  2. The Emperor's Birthday is celebrated on the actual date of birth of the reigning emperor. At the time of this game's release in 2001, this was Emperor Akihito's birthday, on December 23.
